Transparent Tribe’s New RAT: Because Old Malware’s Never Enough
Right, so those bloody cyber‑arseholes called Transparent Tribe (Aka the gift that f**king keeps on giving) have crawled out of their digital cesspool again, this time flinging a brand‑new Remote Access Trojan — a shiny little bastard called ElizaRAT — straight at India’s government and academic sectors. Because apparently, they didn’t learn restraint after the last seventy‑eleven malware campaigns they puked out.
These pricks are using sneaky phishing emails loaded with malicious attachments — the sort of “click‑me‑I‑promise‑it’s‑not‑malware” crap — to compromise systems and steal everything not nailed down. They’ve mixed in Python, Telegram bots, and other modern cyber‑garbage to control victims, exfiltrate data, and generally make sysadmins’ lives an utter f**king nightmare.
The bright side? (Ha! Like that exists.) The campaign’s focus is as predictable as it gets: Indian government departments, military targets, and universities. Because apparently writing proper malware documentation is too boring, so let’s just spy on research projects and bureaucrats instead. The same tactics, same phishing‑infested tactics, different day, and now with a new RAT slapped together with the digital equivalent of duct tape.
Honestly, the only thing more pathetic than their code quality is the fact they keep using social engineering that’d only fool someone whose idea of “cybersecurity” is using “password123”.
Anyway, if you enjoy watching the tragic comedy of digital idiots weaponizing bad Python scripts for espionage, then pull up a chair and enjoy the dumpster fire. The rest of us will be over here cleaning up the mess while Transparent Tribe jerks itself silly over their “new” innovation.

Reminds me of the time a user complained their mouse wouldn’t move — turns out their monitor was off. Same bloody energy as these hackers — dumb, dangerous, and somehow still a problem.
